If your father already filed a tax return claiming you as a dependent, you are not going to be able to e-file this year. Once your SSN has been put into the system it will take months to correct that. When you file your tax return you will have to file by mail. And...if you were not a full time student, and you earned over $4400 for 2022, no one can claim you as a dependent, so Dad will have to amend his tax return to remove you as a dependent. You do not have to wait for him to do that---you can go ahead and mail in your own tax return. ( If you were a full-time student in 2022, that changes things---and Dad can claim you---so post back if that is the case. If you were a full-time student, you must say on your own return that someone else can claim you.)
When you mail a tax return, you need to attach any documents showing tax withheld, such as your W-2’s or any 1099’s. Use a mailing service that will track it, such as UPS or certified mail so you will know the IRS/state received the return.
Federal and state returns must be in separate envelopes and they are mailed to different addresses. Read the mailing instructions that print with your tax return carefully so you mail them to the right addresses.
